Re: Checking for Network Connection

I'm sure there is a timeout option for the socket call, or you could

require 'timeout'
timeout(10) do
# connect
end

Thanks... that was also a solution I had thought about, but couldn't

I'm not exactly sure how to do a timeout loop... or, rather, what you
mean. Do you want me to try three times? Or perhaps to say "timeout
after this amount of time"? Is that part of TCPSocket#new ?

:D
